Eddie Hearn's omission of Tyson Fury speaks volumes amid tournament talks

Eddie Hearn has suggested conversations are going well with every fighter but Tyson Fury for the proposed four-man heavyweight tournament in December.

Fury is expected to face fellow heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in a monumental event that would be headlined by Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder. The showdowns are targeted for Saudi Arabia and Matchroom Boxing boss Hearn recently met with the Chairman of Skills Challenge Entertainment, Prince Khaled, in the Middle East to discuss the event.

Hearn insisted the negotiations were positive, but Fury's name was notably absent when discussing the event. "Talks were good, I think from the Usyk and Wilder conversations have gone very well, for us we are in. We need to finalise terms but we just said to Prince Khaled that's the fight we want," Hearn said.
